IMPROVED MOP-HEAD.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JDHN TROXEL, of Reedsburg, in the County of Wayne,and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Mop-Heads; and do hereby declare that the following Ssa. full, clear, and exact decription thereof, reference beinghad to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked there0n.

In the annexed drawings, making part of this specifieetion, A Arepresent two jaws, which may be provided (one or both) with teeth forholding a, mop-rag between them. The arms B B of these ja.ws cross eachother, and are pivoted together, as seen a.t :c. The outer ends of thesearms ere pivoted to the ends of two lovers D and C, said levers beingcrossed and pivoted together. By this a.rrangement compound leverage isobtained, One of the levers C is serrated o! notched upon its Outer end,and a. link, E, upon lever D, ctttches over this notched end, Whendesireble, for holding the two levers together, end consequently the twojaws A A, for the jaws open and close With the levers. When the mop isplaced between the jaws A A, a.nd the levers D und C are broughttogether and confined by the link E, it is held securely While beingused, but can readily he det-uched by separating the levers, so thx t itcen be washed and wrung out.

What claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arrangement of the heads A A, arms B B, levers C and D, and link E,the several parts being constructed and operating in the mnnner and forthe purpose set f0rth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this30th day of July, 1867.
